long coat

The VOGUEKnitting long coat.I finished it right before my trip and ended up wearing it a lot. Like I said, I am not happy with how the photos turned out. After tasting wine, I simply forgot to check the settings on my camera and also forgot that little rule about how photos turn out better if not taken in direct sunlight. However, I really don't feel like retrying to take photos, so here you go.I love so much about this sweater, the long ribbing in the sleeves, the ribbing in the back waist, the low neckline, the circle pattern on the side, and of course the yarn. I even thought that if you wanted to omit the asymmetrical aspect on the right side, it would still look great. And on size 8 needles it was a pretty fast knit.Pattern: VogueKnitting Fall '09, #1 long coat

The coat is more than darlin'! I wish I could knit as well as you! sigh.....I want SO much to graduate from scarves and hats to some REAL stuff. sweaters. gloves....eeeek. I need a knitting mentor. LOL.

This really turned out great! I was thinking, since 15 balls is a heck of a lot of yarn, this would still look great shortened about 10 in. or so. It would ruin the regal effect, but still it would be a great coat! Love the circular side and the long ribs on the sleeves!

Ok, what's next since you will be sitting at home with sick ones for a while!?

Wow, your sweater coat turned out beautiful. I love, love, love the color. My favorite color is brown, but every once in a while a shock of color is just what we all need. And this red is just shockingly wonderful! Looks like this is going to be one long flu season. Keep well.

I actually really like how the photos turned out! They are very natural - feels like we're out for an autumn stroll in an apple orchard, drinking apple cider and discussing world politics and whatnot. And you look fantastic in that long coat. :D

FAB.U.LOUS!!! I rotate between so many passions.....scrapbooking, knitting, making jewelry....I can only do a little bit of knitting at football practice...but I may have to pick up that Vogue and get crackin'.....it would be a perfect addition to any wardrobe!! Thanks for sharing :)

That sweater coat is AMAZING! And you knitted it?! I am SO impressed. I so wish I could knit that well. I have a cute vest I started last winter (stopped because I got stuck) and am determined to finish it this winter.

Completely understand what your stance on this matter. Though I might disagree on a number of the finer details, I think you probably did an awesome job explaining it. Sure beats having to analysis it on my own. Thanks. Anyway, in my language, there aren't a lot good supply like this.

I supply the ideas above as normal inspiration however clearly there are questions just like the one you deliver up where an important thing can be working in trustworthy good faith.
